1 Safety Information
Please read this operating instruction manual thoroughly.
Intended use
The telephone set, comprised of handset(s) and base station, is suitable for telephoning within a
public telephone network system. Any other use is considered unintended use. Unauthorised
modification or reconstruction is not permitted. Under no circumstances open the device or com-
plete any repair work yourself.
Power failure
The telephone cannot be used to make calls in the event of a power failure. Always keep a wired
telephone which operates without an external power supply available in case of emergency situ-
ations.
Installation location
The installation location is a decisive factor to ensure trouble−free operation.
Prevent excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, moisture, heat and direct sun-
light. Do not use the telephone in potentially explosive areas.
Do not place the telephone (base station) in the direct vicinity of other electronic devices such as
TV sets, microwave ovens, refrigerators etc., because they can mutually affect each other. Do not
place the telephone (base station) near another phone. Ensure that no large metallic objects, such
as a refrigerator or a mirror, are located between the base station and handset. Walls, too, can im-
pair the connection between the base station and handset.
Position the telephone (base station) near a suitable power socket and telephone line socket. Pay
attention that the cable cannot be tripped over!
Attention: The cables must not be extended!
Place the telephone (base station) on a level, non−slip surface. Normally, the device footpads do
not leave any marks on the surface where it is located. However, due to the diverse types of paints
and surfaces which come into question, it cannot be fully ruled out that the footpads will leave
marks on the surface on which it is located.
The higher the base station is located (even inside a building), the further its range.
Power adapter plug
Attention: Only use the power adapter plug supplied because other adapter plugs
could damage the telephone. Ensure access to the power adapter plug is not obstruc-
ted by furniture or such.

Safety Information
4
Rechargeable batteries
Attention: Never throw batteries into a fire. Only use batteries of the same type. Pay
attention to correct polarity. Incorrect polarity of the battery represents a risk of explo-
sion during charging.
Attention: Only use the rechargeable batteries prescribed. Never use standard batte-
ries. Risk of explosion!
Medical equipment
Attention: Never use the telephone in the vicinity of medical equipment. Effects on
such equipment cannot be fully ruled out.
Hearing aid compatibility
The telephone is compatible with most popular hearing aids on the market. However, it cannot be
guaranteed that all hearing aids will work perfectly.
DECT1telephones can cause an unpleasant humming sound in hearing aids.
Disposal
In order to dispose of your device, take it to a collection point provided by your local
public waste authorities (e.g. recycling centre). According to laws on the disposal of
electronic and electrical devices, owners are obliged to dispose of old electronic
and electrical devices in a separate waste container. The adjacent symbol indi-
cates that the device must not be disposed of in normal domestic waste!
Risks to health and the environment from batteries!
Never open, damage or swallow batteries or allow them to pollute the environment.
They could contain toxic and ecologically harmful heavy metals. You are legally ob-
liged to dispose of power packs and batteries at the point of sale or in the corre-
sponding containers provided at collection points by local public waste authorities.
Disposal is free of charge. The adjacent symbols indicate that the batteries must not
be disposed of in domestic waste and that they must be disposed of at an autho-
rised collection point.
Packaging materials must be disposed of according to local regulations.

Inserting the batteries
The battery compartment is located on the rear side of the
handset. Open the battery compartment and insert the two re-
chargeable batteries of the type AAA NiMH, 1.2 V 500 mAh. Pay
attention to the correct polarity. Close the battery compartment.
Charging the batteries
Before the handset is used for the first time, in-
sert it in the base/charging station for at least
8 hours.
When the handset is inserted in the base/charging station
properly, you will hear a confirmation signal. The handset
warms up during the charging process. This is normal and
does not represent a risk. Do not charge the handset with
charging units from other manufacturers. The current battery
charge status is indicated in the display:

Low−radiation operation (ECO mode)
The level of radiation is considerably lower than that of standard DECT cordless tele-
phones in Standby mode when the handset is in the base station. In talk mode, radi-
ation is reduced according to the distance between the handset and base station.
